RE: PURE & PRECISION Paper Planes - Weekend Workshops
I have summarised the activities, for your consideration :
1.Who - is the audience : SCHOOL children - 8/ 10/ 12/ 14 years old
2.What - is the activity : "Flight and the FOUR FORCES on an airplane"
3. Why - the benefit : Applying Geometry & Physics to a real-life object
4. Where - the Place : Indoor halls or outdoor games court
5. When -the time : Saturdays & Sunday mornings, 8am to 10am.
6. How - demonstrations : Authentic Origami paper - international standard
AeroGami for beginners
a) Basics of flight -the "four forces" and basic aviation terminology
b) Fold & Fly paper airplanes – origami and specialty papers
Four Beginners' design classics= Darts + Gliders + Stunt Paper planes
c) Flying Demonstrations = testing, trimming and flying paper gliders.
AeroDynamiX
a) "Precision Paper" gliders = the world's best 10 inch CAD/CAM / CAE gliders
b) Assembly
c) Testing & Trimming
d) Flying demonstrations
5. Whitewings “TRI –LINEAR” Glider Kit. Creative and precise
aeronautic engineering transforms humble card into durable, resilient
gliders that fly high and far. These catapult-launched airplanes can
be tuned to fly straight or in spirals.
Whitewings Gliders are constructed with unique, easy-to-make 2-
layer triangular fuselage that is stiff, resilient, and aerodynamic. 2-
layer Wings can be assembled to have a real camber. Careful
construction, test flights, and adjustment of flight surfaces are
rewarded with long, high flights. The card material is very durable.
6. Whitewings Glider Kit = TRAINER = 9 inches length

27. Paper was invented in China
Over 2,200 years ago,
That led to the development of Paper
Kites, Paper Planes and Hot Air
Balloons
And printed paper money that was
authorised by the Chinese Emperor
This was called “Flying Money” and
replaced Gold and Silver bullion
30. Lift is created by thrust = Bernoulli’s Principle
Drag opposes THRUST
Gravity opposes LIFT
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Newton’s THIRD LAW
Classical Mechanics
